Where to begin?
As with the fulfillment of any work related to decoration and decoration of residential space, the procedure for decorating the kitchen, depending on the scale, is divided into:
- overhaul,
- redecorating.
Opportunities that provide these two options are radically different from each other, so we will consider them separately. But even before moving to any construction work, it is necessary to prepare thoroughly.
It all starts with ideas for kitchen decor. This concept includes not only the stylistic direction, but all related to it actions. In general terms, the procedure looks like this:
- determining the type of work,
- style choice
- selection of functional elements
- selection of decorative elements,
- sketching plans,
- drawing up estimates.
Overhaul of the kitchen makes it possible to fully realize any creative idea. The word does not imply a major analysis of the walls, an abundance of trash and other jobs that are associated with this term. It should be understood as a radical modification of the kitchen space.
Redecorating involves low costs and decorating the kitchen with the help of various art objects. This is the easiest and fastest way to freshen up the look, but not always, it is enough to give the desired appearance of the kitchen. Especially if we are talking about areas in which the repair was carried out 10-15 years ago.
choice of style
Trends and styles, there is really very much. For convenience of classification on similar factors we have classified them into several large groups:
- high tech,
- minimal,
- aristocratic,
- provence
- castle,
- oriental,
- japanese,
- turkish.
Of course, a lot more areas, but they all stem from these design options. Let us consider each of these in more detail and evaluate the pros and cons. A final decision on the kitchen decor, photo from the Internet and specialized magazines to help you make the best possible way.
High tech
Hi-tech - it's hard to follow the trends of science fiction. Style developed largely thanks to the work of Ray Bradbury and Isaac Asimov. All subsequent speculation on the subject is an attempt to imitate the interior, which described the fathers of modern science fiction. Among the mandatory elements of high-tech - glass and metal. Each piece of furniture has to perform certain functions and to be useful. Encouraged minimum number of decorative elements.
High-tech do just enough. You do not need to do major rearrangements cuisine. It will need several sheets of galvanized steel. In addition, you will need to buy a new kitchen table and chairs.
Using tin issued working wall. No not need to do advance preparation. Stainless steel screws screwed directly to the old surface. Old table is replaced by a glass to him suitable plastic chairs cold tones.
The predominant colors of hi-tech - gray, white, blue. Modern paints allow to apply them directly to the surface of wallpaper. But even without this, these elements greatly enliven the situation.
In addition to the generally accepted direction, the creation of copyright works are welcomed. For this, any elements of plastic and metal are suitable. Stainless steel kitchen watches, glass shelves, vinyl monotone stickers on the kitchen set.
It is important that the color gamut is withstanding in one motive.
If overhaul is carried out, a few more features should be taken into account:
- paul - tile,
- ceiling - tension, multi-level,
- walls - the presence of semicircular arches is welcomed, finishing material - paint, internal siding,
- kitchen appliances - color metal.
The most spectacular High-tech is created on the basis of the novels of the brothers Strugatsky and Roger Zelaznos.
Another interesting branch of High-Teja - Steampunk (post-implicit fiction). The brightest example of the design is the game Fallout. Combines the simplest wooden and metal structures, as well as posters in the style of American posters of 40-50 years of last century. It is usually used for the design of thematic cafes.
The indisputable advantage of the style is simplicity and functionality, on the other hand - not everyone likes the cold and the atmosphere of futurism. Suitable only for true connoisseurs of the genre.
Minimal
Perhaps the most simple decor of the kitchen with their own hands is minimal. It is enough to throw out all unnecessary. The prevailing color gamut is white or light gray. The walls are recommended to glue the simplest white wallpaper. With the help of vinyl stickers, the appearance of the kitchen furniture is modified. The technique should be white.
An integral part of the minimum is free space. A high-quality sample of style is created only during major repairs. Modern technologies allow you to make original folding structures. So, the chairs can be mounted in the tabletop bar of the rack, which simultaneously serves as a dining table. Another option when a niche is carved in the wall to which the folding table is installed.
The minimum is perfect for a small kitchen decor. In addition, this is the cheapest version of the design of the kitchen space. Moby note from the most famous representatives of this direction. To prepare a presentation worth seeing the photo of his apartment. For external simplicity style has many drawbacks. The minimum borders with poverty, so it is really spectacular only if the entire apartment is executed accordingly. In addition, it will have to abandon all sorts of shelves and kitchen cabinets. Consequently, the products "about the reserve" will be stored, unless special pantry is provided in the house.
Aristocratic style
A sample of taste and sophistication at all times were the pains of blue blood. The ideal examples of the aristocratic design of residential space serves - the Hermitage Museum. Naturally, at home to recreate this luxury is quite difficult, but it is quite realistic to make high-quality imitation.
To do this, you will need gold paint. With it, it is painted with kitchen moldings, which creates the effect of gilding. Door openings are preferably equipped with carved wooden platbands. Very beautiful will look at the composition of carved wooden siding height from one meter and corrugated wallpaper. If you want to see drawings, then it is better to choose something similar to the coat of arms. A special luxury will be given made from the tree or metal "coat of arms". It should be placed in the most prominent place.
Furniture need to select mobility, desirable leather. Chairs are categorically not recommended, it is better to use sofas or wooden chairs with a soft upholstery.
The working area is recommended to draw up with the help of washable photo wallpaper, which depict the famous paintings. The wrath of the kitchen will be portraits of your family in medieval royal outfits.
Metal and glass are categorically prohibited, only a tree. The prevailing color gamut is blue or pastel tones. Esnoral bone looks especially luxurious.
To give the kitchen the sophistication of noble mansions and, at the same time, not to do capital expenditures, use a colorless lacquer with sparkles. Golden is processed by any suitable surfaces:
- moldings,
- window box
- door Box,
- pipes
- any other individual items.
With varnish, we make decor walls in the kitchen. To do this, in disorderly, the lips on wallpaper or paint. In the afternoon, you will not notice any difference, but as soon as the electric lighting is turned on, the walls will be filled with silver or gold (depending on the color of the sequin, you can choose other colors, it is especially impressive dark green). Such technology is applied and when applied plaster.
Provence
One of the most popular styles today is Provence. Such success is obliged to an unusually cozy atmosphere. Provence is quite easy to do absolutely in any kitchen, as it is executed exclusively with the help of decorative elements, among them:
- flowers, artificial and alive,
- various statuettes or dolls of fabric and straw,
- wooden napples, lists, saltwrites, etc.,
- khpanka pepper, garlic, bows, etc.
- vases from the bottles of Georgian wine (in the form of jugs),
- various wicker elements (from fruit baskets, to table and chairs).
Since Provence is primarily associated with the European Rustic House, then any specific requirements for the external design of gender, walls or ceiling is not extended, the main thing as "peeling" the kitchen with the specified deco elements is the most. It is interesting to make a decision when the pans hang on special cloves right near the stove.
If we talk about major repairs, then the favorite material for the decor of the kitchen in the style of Provence is a tree. Furniture and floor must be made of it. Walls are recommended to separate wooden siding. "Chip" of any kitchen in the style of Provence is a real furnace or fireplace (the furnace is preferable).
Castle style
The technology is rarely used to decorate private premises, as it implies the impressive costs and overhaul of the premises. In fact, the main element of the castle style is the ceiling, it should be either with wooden beams or arched.
In the apartments with a height of 2.8 m, the arches are not welcome, as they will empty the height of the room at least 40 cm. On the other hand, it will create a sensation of a medieval tavern of some small town. The beams are much more often used. As a rule, this is a decorative element that does not bear the load. They are processed exclusively by the mourn, preferably colorless.
The next element is forging. All individual deco elements must be forgotten. These include:
- consoles for the shelves,
- watch,
- chandeliers or lamps,
- window and door frames,
- lattices on the windows,
- furniture accessories.
For the design of the table and chairs, the bearing walls of the sewing machines "Zinger" of the first release models are ideal. Instead of chairs, they often use stumps from trees or upholstered chests, they also perform the function of kitchen cabinets, instead of which the stuffed animals should hang on the walls, as well as cold weapons.
Walls are drawn up with a decorative stone or textured plaster. On the floor, a tile is required, and better red brick or a real paving slave (or decorative option for apartments).
East style
Eastern style came to us from China - the main element of bamboo. With it, it is literally everything. Since the material is fairly simple in the installation, with it, without problems, it is decorated literally everything from the walls, to the kitchen appliances.
The Chinese, unlike most Asians, do not deny the tables. But they have a certain feature associated with Chinese cuisine. The table is usually round and consists of two parts. The bottom serves as a base for plates, and on the top there are dishes. At the same time, the upper part is spinning freely, so everyone can take what he wants to try.
In Chinese cuisine, the table is the main element that must be located in the center of the room, everything else has a secondary value.
Separate manifestation of oriental style - Japanese design. It combines a kind of minimal with elements of fine art. Table or chairs are completely denied. The ceiling and walls must be made of fabric, floor - wooden. A Japanese calligraphy should be present on the wall either as paintings or directly on the fabric.
Turkish style
Ideal for cosmetic work. Conditionally the kitchen is divided into two zones - a working and lounge. Ideally separate them from each other with a width of a tissue. The design of the working area does not matter, but special attention is paid to the recreation zone.
First of all, the entire space around is drawn up with carpets. Mandatory should be a rich drawing. Carpets are expensive pleasure, so there is a tricky technology that allows us to turn into a chic Persian carpet into a chic Persian carpet.
To do this, you will need a long-pile material and the photo of the pattern for the carpet. In any large photo metering, a photo of a pattern in the carpet size is ordered. It cuts the corresponding patch pattern. Then, with the help of acrylic aerosol paint, an image is applied to carpet. Although the total cost of work will be no cheap, the real carpet will be several times more expensive.
Thus adorn the floor and walls. The ceiling is desirable to make a tensioned fabric. Important moment Lounge Zone - Furniture. She should not be at all. Instead of chairs, pillows are used, and a wooden or glass plate of a round or oval shape on low legs is suitable as a table. At the same time, the plate simultaneously serves and the tray.
Art decor cuisine
The above methods are more suitable for overhaul, but if you are only going to lightly refresh the setting in the kitchen you will need art deco. For this suit:
- lacques with sparkles
- stencils for kitchen decor,
- wall mural,
- vinyl stickers for furniture,
- separate deco elements,
- frescoes.
The method of working with varnish is described in creating an aristocratic style.
Stencils allow you to refresh the painted walls, but are not suitable for wallpaper.
Wall murals are applied either to decorate the working area or free from the furniture walls.
Vinyl stickers are needed if the appearance of the furniture does not suit, and I do not want to buy a new one.
Separate deco elements, in addition to the provence described in the style, suggest pictures, magnets, charging, etc. With their help decorate various defects.
The frescoes are able to turn the kitchen into a chic summer terrace or an old castle dining room. It looks spectacular only in spacious rooms.
